My love of natural places and their wild
inhabitants stretches back as long as I can
remember. Growing up, I spent countless
hours wandering the mountains and streams
of northwestern North Carolina. That interest
was rekindled and strengthened in adulthood
when my then five-year old son and I began
what has evolved into a 20-plus year
backpacking partnership.
Like backpacking, photography encourages a
slower, more observant pace; I find the two
interests imminently compatible. Over time,
photography became the primary focus of my
time outdoors, but only later in life did I begin
to market the results of my photographic
efforts.

Though I have photographed in many corners of the US, my work is concentrated
on the southern Appalachian Mountains in general and the Blue Ridge region in
particular. Regardless of the geographic area, however, all my photography is
driven by two primary goals. First, I seek to accurately and faithfully record natural
places and share them, through my photographs, with others. More importantly, I
hope to inspire at least some viewers of my images to a greater appreciation of and
concern for those few wild or largely unspoiled places that still exist.
I firmly believe that the quality of human existence would be significantly diminished
if we had no wild places to experience, no wild creatures to observe. I hope that my
photography helps to encourage further preservation of those places by providing
others the opportunity to view images of nature's design.
